Port Authority Route Changes Outlined in a
Helpful Brochure by ACTA
“Commuting in the Airport Corridor,” a colorful, easy-tounderstand
brochure, outlines in both text and diagram
format the changes to bus service that were made in the
airport corridor in early September. Additionally, ACTA has
produced a second brochure of the same, “Just in Time: Ride
ACTA” which describes its FREE shuttle service (see bus
below), originating from IKEA in Robinson Town Center. The
Ride ACTA shuttle bus offers two convenient routes. One
serves the West Busway Carnegie Station to Penn Center
West and back. The other route serves the Robinson retail
district as well as the RIDC Park West complex, the Marriott,
FedEx Ground, GlaxoSmithKline, and Settlers Ridge.

ui’s home to take pictures. Rusty www.acta-pgh.org and I received gifts
from her of ie lava lavas. These are a 2 yard piece of
abric that everyone wears tied around the waist. This
was very touching. We exchanged kisses and said our
good-byes. We headed to the Canopy Walk. The walk
consisted of climbing up what we would call a fire
tower. Then we had to walk on a board that had wires
strung along it on both sides and netting on the sides
and below, several feet up in the air to the next stop. It
was very scary to me because half way across, it
began to sway. I held on tight! At the other side, you
start climbing very steep steps that wrap around the
largest tree I have ever seen. If you have seen Avatar,
this is the tree of souls! We went up about 50 meters.
At the top was a platform that we could see, I think,
the whole island! Going down we had even steeper
steps. We made it all the way down without having to
do the swinging walk, thankfully. Of course, Alli chose
to anyway. Afterwards, we all went to see Spencer’s,
another PC, project of aquaponics at the farthest west
point on the island. We were staying at Va’i Maona, a
beach resort. Our room was right on the ocean. Took a
swim. A PC, Matt who lives near there, joined us and
stayed for dinner in the restaurant. Before dinner, he
and Alli hung out playing house guitars. Some of the
staff sang and played guitars after dinner.
